reunification efforts

Brief text of the reunification efforts between North and South Korea.

Despite the strongly anti-communist stance that South Korea's Lee Syngman took after the separation of the Korean peninsula, some political figures such as Kim Koo worked to establish an independent and unitary Korean government. Kim Koo was a political activist who had been heavily involved in the Korean independence movement as well as reunification efforts. He was infamous for being an assassin, with one story about his killing of a Japanese officer after he heard news of the Korean queen's assassination by the Japanese.
